There is a lot of money to be made in the homeless business.
Another scandal??? Must be Monday!
‘careless and irresponsible’ with $240 million = they stole it
They don’t want to ‘solve the problem’.
If they did, the money train stops....................
This is my shocked face.....
YES, but it is a NONPROFIT! Fer sure.
Life for the homeless has never changed but these parasitic scumbags are in on the steal. They will never do any time
Other people money is the best money.
A most interesting and idiotic phrase. Charity is "bloated?" No. Government being ripped off is the picture.
And not a single one of these thieves will be prosecuted.
“Irresponsible?”
So that’s what they’re calling embezzlement these days!
Exactly right. "Homelessness" is a BIG business and lots of people make a lot of money perpetuating it. Like any business, it wants to grow.
Here is the CEO (lead thief) JANÉA JACKSON

It should be obvious to anyone - even a liberal - that homeless “charities” have absolutely no incentive to solve the homeless crisis and every incentive to make the crisis worse.
“”Homelessness is a BIG business and lots of people make a lot of money perpetuating it.””
Back in the 1990s, when Welfare To Work limited the gravy train, I worked for a private company that interfaced with County Welfare Departments to place people on jobs. We did not receive a dime until the person had succeeded in keeping the job. Eventually, after many successful job placements, the County Welfare Employees caseloads were shrinking (what a concept!)! These same County employees displayed contempt for our part in all this, staring daggers at us. We just smiled and kept our eyes on the prize. The thanks and appreciation we received from people who previously struggled is something I will never forget.
No one is ever held accountable for these scams. How much did the Mayor get out of this?
Meanwhile, every office and storefront in San Fran’s Union Square is closed. Every single one.
This is Google’s blurb about Union Square:
“Union Square is the teeming commercial hub of the city. Many major hotels and department stores are packed into the area surrounding the actual square. Numerous upscale boutiques, restaurants, nightspots and galleries occupy the spaces tucked between the larger buildings. At the intersection of Powell and Market streets, tourists huddle to view one the city’s most unique sites, the manual cable car turnaround. ― Google”
It is not “teeming”. There is no business or shopping activity there at all. There are no open restaurants, boutiques, nightspots, or galleries.
I suspect soon an investment group, a company such as BlackRock or Vanguard will swoop in and purchase the properties for pennies on the dollar. Commerce will be allowed once again and there will be apartments for lease above the storefronts. At that point the homeless and druggies will be moved out, order will be restored, and new businesses will be opened.
However, no gas-powered vehicles will be allowed. In this new thriving business district, the only transportation allowed will be bicycles and EV’s, including EV buses that make half-hour loops around the area. People will live where they work, the investment group will make millions, and no questions as to where they put the homeless druggies will be allowed.
Then SF Union Square will be hailed as the new 15 minute city template that all cities should mimic. Amazingly, the same investment groups will have purchased buildings in other cities’ depressed downtown and business areas. Also for pennies on the dollar.
This decades transfer of wealth from the middle-class business owners to the large corporate investments groups, owned partly by politicians and the politically-connected will then be complete.
Well, In NY, we have Tish James and Alan Braggart who have done nothing to investigate the theft of close to a $ Billion Dollars in taxpayer money by the Former First Wymyn on NYC, Chirlaine McCray and her concubine, Warren Wilhelm Jr. aka “Bill DeBlasio. Not a darn thing.
